I have purchaced a couple of Dell Precision 390 systems, I need to Install W2K (could not order with)but when I try to install from the W2K CD I get a message no hard drive found?? I have turned off the Raid setup and on bootup both drives are found as Basic disks but no luck installing the OS.. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

In order for Windows to recognize the drives though, I had to go into the BIOS and change the SATA Operation option from RAID/AHCI to RAID/ATA. After that, WinXP was able to load the driver from the diskette and see the hard drive in setup.
Hope this helps.
